Description: Robert C. Morgan examines the separation of the art world from the notion of art as a unique form of creative expression. He argues that the boundary between contemporary art and popular trends in fashion, media, and entertainment is growing increasingly thin, and calls for a return to aesthetics and to an inner-directedness in art as distinct from a market driven art world.
